Broward County on Wednesday removed a controversial dancing taco after receiving a barrage of backlash via social media for National Hispanic Heritage Month.

The one-second GIF, or short video, featured a smiling taco wielding multicolored maracas in each hand and a swirl of sour cream for hair. Within about five hours, the GIF was removed from both their Twitter and Facebook accounts.



Hallandale Beach City Commissioner Sabrina Javellana called the post “extremely embarrassing” on Twitter — whereas others called for “sensitivity training” and expressed disgust with the county’s gif selection.

Broward County spokesperson Gregory Meyer said the post was never intended to be offensive or funny but in celebration of Hispanic Heritage month.

“While I’m not Hispanic, I still think it could be perceived as being offensive and so therefore, we removed it,” he said.

A taco with maracas. I can definitely see how this would be seen as disrespectful.

I imagine this would be the equivalent of a dancing piece of fried chicken or watermelon for Black History Month, so I can understand people being offended.

I guess..

At the same time, I imagine if they had just posted a picture of a nice plate of Rice and Beans I don't think people would be offended...

Is it the cartoon that makes ppl mad?

From what I’m reading in replies, that’s an Americanized taco, which represents Mexico, and they aren’t all from Mexico, and it’s reducing them to a taco.



I’m not going to tell another group of people what they shouldn’t and shouldn’t be offended by. White people do it to us all the time. If they don’t like it, they don’t like it.
